Right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights. I have so many friends who are gays and lesbians who would so badly want to get married, that I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself [if I got married before they could].

We just need to put our foot down. This is a good time for us to bring this to a place of fairness, and girls need to know that being a feminist is a good thing. It doesn't mean that you hate men. It means equal rights. If you're doing the same job, you should be compensated and treated in the same way.

The thing I noticed is that a lot of times great material can get ruined if its not in the right hands.
Charlize Theron

The human condition is all about us pretending to be something sometimes that we're not. When you get into the core of people kind of stripping all of that away, that's for me, as an actor, always the most fun stuff to do.

Hey, I'm a girl, and we like to play dress-up.

People always say to me, What's wrong with Hollywood? They don't want to make female-driven movies. And that's not where the problem lies. It lies with us, in society. When we make these movies, nobody goes to see them.

You just don't know if you'll be around tomorrow. You just don't.

I think of myself as a highly sexual creature.

You have to be able to feel like you can play way outside of the box. If you're with a great filmmaker and someone you can trust, that's encouraged, and Seth was that kind of filmmaker and co-star.

I look at my career and how I'm doing it now. I feel like there is something authentic in that process that I still try not to over manipulate. When I feel something, I try to listen to that.

I tend to ... if I decide to do a job, want to be able to trust my director...

We all understand situations where it's swim or drown. Sometimes we surprise ourselves when we start swimming and see how well we can do it.
